Sowing, Seeds, Planting

Plant three or four tubers into a 20cm (8in) diameter pot from March - May, plant 7-10cm (3-4in) deep with the shoot facing upwards. Use peat-free multi-purpose compost with plenty of grit incorporated. Place somewhere warm, a heated greenhouse or a bright windowsill above a radiator is ideal and keep the compost moist. As shoots appear tie them to supports.

Care Tips

Keep well-watered and feed fortnightly with a balanced liquid feed and cut back top growth as it dies down. Ensure tubers are stored in a dry, frost-free place during the winter.
